I’m Deb, originally from St.Paul, MN, but relocated to NW Iowa to become an RN. I decided to become a nurse – specifically a Labor & Delivery Nurse — in 2017 when my sister was born. Before then, I had learned about the difficulties that occur in my mom’s birth country, Liberia (Africa), when it comes to giving birth. This all prompted me to take a stand for women’s health and it has since become my passion. I decided becoming a doula would only further allow me to assist women in a more delicate way so I leaped at the opportunity. My ultimate goal is to provide education and support for women during all stages of the reproductive lifespan. I am available for hospital and birth center deliveries.

My name is Jenna Soodsma. I am a Sioux Center native but moved back to the area almost a year ago. My husband is a sweet Canadian and after we graduated in 2017 from Dordt University in Sioux Center we moved to Indonesia to be teachers. That’s where we had our three sweet daughters and called home for seven years. I became passionate about the topic of birth after giving birth myself. I had a great experience hiring a doula and was so excited when the opportunity came to get certified as a doula while pregnant with my second. I have and continue to learn so much in this field
